I am not a big shopper, in fact my wardrobe is quite small, but when I do shop I consider all of the above and I always keep my eye out for what is in the shops, physically and online. Where to shop and why?

Boutiques have done the work for you so this way saves you time but may cost a bit extra – time worth saving. Find a favourite that knows your style and shopping there is worth the money.

Once you have confidence in a brand check them out Online.

Online at Etsy for handmade or vintage.

Once you are confident in your own style Charity shops are amazing places to go and offer all the quality without the price. Pop in to your local one and if nothing grabs you there check out other areas where donations may be premium products.

Stay in touch with all your favourites by following on Social media or subscribing to updates.

So enjoy shopping but make sure you know what is already in your wardrobe.
